Publisher Description:

A clear, relevant, and respectful presentation of Matthew's Gospel written for people in the pews

Technical biblical scholarship can come across as too theoretical, irrelevant to our daily lives, and sometimes even threatening to our faith. In Meeting St. Matthew Today, preeminent biblical scholar Daniel J. Harrington, SJ, charts a different course, helping us uncover the unique riches of this Gospel while showing us how St. Matthew's message can shape our lives and love for Christ.
This quick-moving yet insightful book provides a thoughtful introduction to the Evangelist and his Gospel, with special attention given to a narrative analysis of Matthew--including key concepts and themes that develop as the story unfolds. The closing chapter of the book includes three brief lessons based on lectionary readings of St. Matthew.
